Crystal Palace vs. Larnac match thread

[DenTyler]

Dire doesn’t do tonight justice. Piss pour

 

[bigal]

Glasner’s tactical negativity on full show today

 

[Painter]

Looking forward to next Thursday, already. I cant get enough of this European football.

 

[Eaglecoops]

shockingly bad

Shockingly predictable.

Well called it knew it was going tobe hard in that weather hopefully the 2nd lge will be in better conditions , we will still beat them over the 2 legs

 

[Alanh]

Too slow, not enough forward passing. A terrible match.

 

[PalazioVecchio]

Larnaca are turning into our bogie team

 

[pssguy]

On the bright side, only Arsenal have won more away in the league than Palace. Straw-Clutching

 

[Xong Kudu]

I’m not sure we even deserved to get a draw. Really poor all round from Palace. I’m just glad I didn’t attend the match.

 

[ASCPFC]

Poor enough. I note we often drop in defence when we should be attacking the ball. We start moves on the back foot as we don't get the decisive first contacts with the ball.

 

[Irisheagle87]

Just really needed a goal tonight. If we go one up against them we will be ok. Where's this goal coming from though??

 

[Hrolf The Ganger]

If there was a game where you dominated and were still awful this is it.

We can win in Larnaca, but we just don't have the ability to break teams down. We seem particular poor at home.

You jest what game were you watching

 

[fish mitten]

Wind didn’t help, ref didn’t help (decisions were baffling) but after a bright first 20 minutes, we rarely looked like breaking them down.
It’s a real anti football tournament.
I think they’ll go for the 0-0 at theirs as well.

Sky comments
Boos from those still there at Selhurst Park, and you can't blame them.

There was a lack of intensity and attacking quality. They couldn't break down Larnaca even with Mateta returning to the fray.

Credit to Larnaca. They did their part in making things difficult. This will give them so much confidence going into the return leg in Cyprus.

This Palace is unrecognisable from what we have seen at times under Oliver Glasner. Much work to do.

 

[kennybrowns leftfoot]

Absolutely awful.. All Larnaca have to do in the 2nd leg is exactly the same thing again. Stick 11 men behind the ball as they know we are incapable of breaking teams down and then they'll hope they nick it on penalties.

Let's be real here.. As exciting as it was to get into Europe it's quite possibly been the biggest anti climax ever.. We have been so poor in Europe all season and it genuinely wouldn't surprise me in the slightest if we get knocked out next week.

 

[BelfastEagle]

The standard of this competition is desperately poor and we have been consistently poor. Not shown anything to suggest we are anywhere near capable of getting into the later stages.

The chances of progressing are now no better than 50 50. A hostile ground and most likely dubious officials could well see the end of the road.

You would think the wind would make it difficult to defend but apparently it makes it difficult to attack.

I wonder what our excuses are when we play in no wind.

 

[GITR]

We aren't used to dominating possession and don't know what to do with it. So many half-hearted crosses and no real creativity in the final third; I feel like Pino could have added something different if he was brought on earlier

 

[dj jack]

Damn. I thought you would win that comfortably and was starting to arrange my London trip! We (Fiorentina) have just scraped through (again) with a last gasp penalty.

Hope we both make it through in all seriousness 🙏
